Unlike regular hot chocolate, which typically contains only 20% cacao powder with added sugars and other ingredients, cacao paste is 100% pure cacao. It includes both the solids and the naturally occurring cacao butter, giving it a rich, creamy texture without the need for additives.
“Cao Cacao is delicious! Juli's quality paste and unique recipe brings a tasty, warming and tranquil addition to the healing and energising qualities of the cacao drink.”

History
Cacao has been cherished for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures like the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. It was considered sacred—'a gift from the gods'—used in rituals, ceremonies, and even as currency. Traditionally, it was prepared as a rich, bitter drink, often mixed with spices like chilli and vanilla, symbolising vitality and connection.
